Book Synopsis Ethical Dimensions of the Prophets by : Joseph Jensen
Download or read book Ethical Dimensions of the Prophets written by Joseph Jensen and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do the Old Testament prophets have a stake in modern ethics? They had a great impact in shaping Israel's ethics, and they should also have an impact on ours, writes biblical scholar Joseph Jensen. In Ethical Dimensions of the Prophets, Jensen shows us how the prophets never soft-peddled God's message. Jeremiah lashed out against a tyrannical king. Hosea accused Israel of harlotry for worshiping false gods. And Amos railed about the God's wrath because Israel failed to behave compassionately toward the weak and the poor. Jensen wants readers to hear the prophets in their own terms as they addressed their biblical contemporaries. Yet he asserts that the teachings of the prophets contain valuable lessons for us to ponder and apply today, particularly when it comes to social justice. This book is designed for readers eager to move beyond an introductory understanding of the Bible.

Download or read book Prophecy and Ethics written by Eryl W. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1981-10-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study attempts to examine the role of tradition in the teaching of Isaiah with a view to discerning the basis of the ethics presupposed by the prophet. The view that Isaiah's ethical pronouncements were dependent upon the legal, covenantal and wisdom traditions of Israel is discussed, and the possibility of a direct dependence on the oracles of his contemporary, Amos, is examined. Davies shows that the whole question of the influence of tradition on the thought of Isaiah is fraught with problems.

Book excerpt: "Israel's prophets are enigmatic, eccentric characters, who shock us with their disturbing preaching and bizarre behavior. Eccentricities aside, we ought not to dismiss them or their message. By consistently linking right worship with right living, the prophets reminded the people of Israel that their religious observance and how they lived the 'rest' of their lives were inseparable. By drawing on their tradition, today's prophets continue to build up the church to become a prophetic voice to the culture around it. Our contributors invite us to ask: Who are the prophets today? Who, by their prophetic action and teaching, help us discern the vision of God for our culture and inspire us to enter the works of God's kingdom? Christian Reflection is an ideal resource for discipleship training in the church. Multiple copies are available for group study at $3.00 per copy. The study guides and lesson plans integrate Bible study, prayer, and worship to help us understand our discipleship in light of the biblical prophetic tradition. The guides can be used in a series or individually. You may download and reproduce them for personal or group use"--Baylor.edu.
Book Synopsis Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching by : Evelyn Theresa Watson
Download or read book Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching written by Evelyn Theresa Watson and published by WestBowPress. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching is the culmination of the author Evelyn Theresa Watson’s forty years of biblical research that authenticates the Bible’s statutory code of ethics. The code, representing the moral principles of covenant law, judgment, and statute manner, is disclosed in a pattern of doctrinal precepts within metaphoric and parabolic prophecy. This pattern evolved into doctrinal guidelines that appear on the only Bible-based slide rule of its kind, the Mortal/ Immortal Golden Rule of Measure. Volume I consists of a manual with illustrations of Old and New Testament text that show the reader how to use the Ark of the Covenant terms on the ruler to loose the seals of biblical prophecy. The present century marks four thousand years of Judaic Christian history and the end times of biblical prophecy. This recorded time period completes the history of the former Judaic generations and the latter Christian generation in their search for God. However, the search continues for an all-inclusive deity that will unite all nations in the universality of one God. The world's search for a unifying deity will advance when individuals accept the one true God based on Genesis One as the reality of “it was good... and it was so.” The author’s commentary offers the reader an opportunity to become a scholar of honor testifying to the efficacy of scriptural and gospel prophecy.

Book Synopsis Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching Volume II by : Evelyn Theresa Watson
Download or read book Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching Volume II written by Evelyn Theresa Watson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author, Evelyn Theresa Watson, began her search of the scriptures with Genesis One where a primitive people said what they believed to be true about themselves and a creator named God. She unveils the day-by-day metaphoric prophecy that qualifies the formative process of immortal life and mortal time said of God, which became the signs of the times. In this second volume of Historical Phases of Prophetic Teaching, she distinguishes between two accounts of creation-the first, created of God, and the second, made by the LORD God. The author presents this scriptural message in chapter verse subdivisions with descriptive headings that denote a statutory code of ethics in a systematic or set discourse of preceptive prophecy. Through translated words the reader will gain spiritual insight into scriptural prophecy concerning what was said of the LORD God as God and the covenants he made with Noah, Abraham, and Moses. Are you aware that a primitive account of immortality and mortality begins with THE FIRST BOOK OF MOSES CALLED GENESIS? Are you seeking spiritual insight into the metaphoric mystery of biblical prophecy? How does the primitive language of soul identify the generations in mortal/ immortal words of scriptural prophecy? This commentary provides a systematic way for you to search the books of Genesis and Exodus for answers to these questions.
Book Synopsis Path of the Prophets by : Barry L. Schwartz
Download or read book Path of the Prophets written by Barry L. Schwartz and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illuminating the ethical legacy of the biblical prophets, Path of the Prophets identifies the prophetic moment in the lives of eighteen biblical figures and demonstrates their compelling relevance to us today. While the Bible almost exclusively names men as prophets, Rabbi Barry L. Schwartz celebrates heroic, largely unknown biblical women such as Shiphrah, Tirzah, and Hannah. He also deepens readers’ interpretations of more familiar biblical figures not generally thought of as prophets, such as Joseph, Judah, and Caleb. Schwartz introduces the prophets with creative, first-person retellings of their decisive experiences, followed by key biblical narratives, context, and analysis. He weighs our heroes’ and heroines’ legacies—their obstacles and triumphs—and considers how their ethical examples live on; he guides us on how to integrate biblical-ethical values into our lives; and he challenges each of us to walk the prophetic path today.
Book Synopsis Double Standards in Isaiah by : Andrew Davies
Download or read book Double Standards in Isaiah written by Andrew Davies and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Double Standards in Isaiah examines from a reader-orientated perspective the ethical teaching of the largest and most important of the prophetic books, and addresses the most crucial ethical issue in biblical studies: how can Yahweh justly demand such high standards of conduct for his people when he fails to live by them himself? The author considers the role of this dilemma throughout Isaiah, concluding that the 'double standards' in operation are, for Isaiah, the inevitable by-product of the prophet's vision of Yahweh's exalted status and moral superiority. This provocative book offers a unique and creative approach to the difficulty of representing the character and conduct of God, and will be essential reading for students of Isaiah and anyone with an interest in the many ethical problems of the Hebrew Bible.

Book Synopsis Biblical Prophets and Contemporary Environmental Ethics by : Hilary Marlow
Download or read book Biblical Prophets and Contemporary Environmental Ethics written by Hilary Marlow and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of growing concern over climate change and other environmental pressures, Biblical Prophets and Contemporary Environmental Ethics explores what an ecological reading of the biblical text can contribute to contemporary environmental ethics. The Judaeo-Christian tradition has been held partly to blame for a negative attitude to creation - one that has legitimised the exploitative use of the earth's resources. Hilary Marlow explores some of the thinking in the history of the Christian tradition that has contributed to such a perception, before discussing a number of approaches to reading the Old Testament from an ecological perspective. Through a detailed exegetical study of the texts of the biblical prophets Amos, Hosea, and First Isaiah, Marlow examines the portrayal of the relationship between YHWH the God of Israel, humanity and the non-human creation. In the course of this exegesis, searching questions emerge: what are the various understandings of the non-human creation that are present in the text? What assumptions are made about YHWH's relationship to the created world and how he acts within it? And what effect do the actions and choices of human beings have on the created world? Following this close textual study, Marlow examines the problem of deriving ethical norms from the biblical text and discusses some key ethical debates in contemporary environmental theory. The book explores the potential contribution of the biblical exegesis to such debates and concludes by proposing an inter-relational model for reading the Old Testament prophets in the light of contemporary environmental ethics.

Book Synopsis Ethics in Ancient Israel by : John Barton
Download or read book Ethics in Ancient Israel written by John Barton and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics in Ancient Israel is a study of ethical thinking in ancient Israel from around the eighth to the second century BC. The evidence for this consists primarily of the Old Testament/ Hebrew Bible and Apocrypha, but also other ancient Jewish writings such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and various anonymous and pseudonymous texts from shortly before the New Testament period. Professor John Barton argues that there were several models for thinking about ethics, including a 'divine command' theory, something approximating to natural law, a virtue ethic, and a belief in human custom and convention. Moreover, he examines ideas of reward and punishment, purity and impurity, the status of moral agents and patients, imitation of God, and the image of God in humanity. Barton maintains that ethical thinking can be found not only in laws but also in the wisdom literature, in the Psalms, and in narrative texts. There is much interaction with recent scholarship in both English and German. The book features discussion of comparative material from other ancient Near Eastern cultures and a chapter on short summaries of moral teaching, such as the Ten Commandments. This innovative work should be of interest to those concerned with the interpretation of the Old Testament but also to students of ethics.
